Rogers kicks off 6 GB/$60 plan, Sony Xperia Ion in tow

Canadians looking for an affordable LTE-capable device and lots of data to chew on will be interested to hear that Rogers has started a 6 GB promotional plan and now has the Sony Xperia Ion for sale for $49.99 on a three-year contract. The $60 plan includes unlimited calling to 10 Canadian numbers, unlimited texting, unlimited evenings and weekends, and 200 weekday minutes on top of the data. Rogers is even willing to toss in data sharing to multiple devices at $10 off every month for the next 10 months to help you burn through those 6 GB, though the promo is only running until August 8.

I just did a hardware upgrade on Sunday to the HTC One X. The guy at the Rogers store lied to me when he said my 6GB/$30 3G plan would convert to LTE with the phone, and I didn't need a new SIM. So I spent yesterday afternoon on the phone with Rogers getting an LTE plan setup, and the best they could do for me was $78/3GB 200 minutes, unlim msg, my10, early eve & weekend. I then had to spend almost an hour in Best Buy just to buy an LTE SIM, they only had one sales person working in the Mobile department. Got that sorted out and enjoyed my first day on LTE today.

Saw this story and called Rogers immediately. Paying $18 less and got my 6GB back. Feels good. I like the peace of mind of not worrying about going over my data limit.
